Frisco City Council to vote on specific-use permit for Garages of America project

The proposed project would be for five buildings, including a three-story self-storage building and four garage buildings. The project will include about 126,100 square feet of space between all five buildings, according to the staff report.

The property owner has signed a development agreement, which is also on council's Jan. 17 meeting agenda for consideration.

Frisco’s Planning and Zoning Commission voted on a specific-use permit for this project during a Dec. 13 meeting. The commission recommended approval of the permit with a 5-1 vote, according to the staff report.

Commissioner Steve Cone provided the dissenting vote, because he “does not believe that Frisco should allow self-storage units in nonindustrial zoning and that close to the toll road,” the staff report states.

Staff have recommended approval of the request; however, council members can vote to deny it or table the item for further review, according to the staff report.
